It is so good to write to you again. The Lord is continuing to move greatly in my life and in the lives of those who love Him. I wake up every morning excited to see what new thing God will do in me, or in the people that are around me. Walking in God is an amazing thing that is more stimulating than a morning cup of coffee, good news on the television, or a warm sunny day after a cold and stormy night.

I encourage you to walk in Him as I walk in Him. That is not to say that I have perfected my walk but each day I am getting closer to that goal. I have taken the words Jesus said in John 13:35 to heart. Since it is my heart felt desire for the world to know who I serve, and who my family is. -I love everyone.-

There are many who profess their love for God and many of those declare their love for others but there is a difference between saying something and actually doing it. They can’t say they love their neighbor and then talk about them behind their back. They can’t say they love God and then refuse to forgive their neighbor. (Matthew 7:18)

I am reminded of my love for my wife. Because of my love for her, I desire to seek out those things that she loves and love them too. It isn’t difficult, or supernatural. You don’t need a special anointing, or a voice from heaven to explain it. We know how it works in our hearts.

It is the same for our Father God. If we truly love Him then our desire will be to love those things or people that He loves.

In 1 John 4:8 and 16 the Bible says that God is Love. So if we say that we love God and yet don’t love our neighbor, or brother, or father, or mother (or we refuse to forgive them) then we don’t even know the God we profess to love.

This should not be. But it happens all the time throughout the body of Christ.

We can’t truly walk in the full power, glory, and miracles of God until we make a conscious decision to LOVE God who is Love.

It all boils down to a simple question… “Do you love God?”

I know you do. I know that you Love God with all your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength. I know that you know that there is no one in the whole universe that loves you like Him.

Let’s take up this banner of Love and spread His love that was poured out in our hearts to all those we come in contact with. (Romans 5:5) Let’s obey Jesus in loving one another, not in order to fulfill his command but because it’s our desire to love those He loves.


Your friend and brother,
Gabriel

True. I would add if we really love our neighbour, let's not stand by and watch them go the lake of fire. Tell them the gospel.
